A social butterfly, diplomat, or life of the party — all those descriptions fit Reuben to a “T.” He’s a Plott Hound/Terrier mix whose amber-flecked brindle coat literally glows in the sunlight. He enjoys the company of other dogs and people of all ages, shapes and sizes, for his love does not discriminate. Reuben is around two to three-years-old, but since he was a lost dog brought to the Animal Shelter, there’s no known history on this sweet guy. He is ready to start a new life and wants to share it with a loving family or individual who will

The name “Rosalie” originates from the French for “rose garden” and this precious feline could not be more perfectly named. She evidently wandered from her home, was eventually found by a citizen, and brought to the Animal Shelter where just two days later she gave birth to two kittens. Each of them has been adopted and now Rosalie is hoping for the same good fortune her babies had. Her quiet coloring — diluted Calico markings blended with Tabby stripes — matches her calm personality. And just like a rose garden she offers you beauty, tranquility, and joy, but most importantly, an unconditional love that only she can give. Rosalie can be visited at Petsmart in Greenwood.

A “turn-key” dog if ever there was one! This two-year-old, black-and-white Border Collie/Lab mix, with copper-colored eyes, has all the best traits of each breed. He’s a quick learning, family loving, well-mannered Camp Good Dog graduate who scored top honors in every activity. Luke walks impeccably on a leash and is trained to sit and lie down. If you’re looking for a great indoor/outdoor, cat and kid friendly, family dog to be your walking buddy or your living room companion, Luke has those qualifications and more! Visit him at Camp Chinquapin for Critters at 115 Old Abbeville Hwy in Greenwood.

Carmel is so-named because of the swirling honey, tan, and golden colors in her coat that make her look like the creamy candy treat. And it goes without saying that her personality is just as sugary sweet. This six-month-old mellow yellow kitty is exactly what the doctor ordered for anyone wanting a deliciously affectionate feline companion. You can visit Carmel at Petsmart located at 201 Hospitality Blvd. in Greenwood.

If you had a dollar for every one of his handsome pale freckles you’d both be worth a million, but you can’t put a price on the warm, buoyant spirit of our exquisitely colored American Heeler/American Staffordshire terrier mix “Cash.” At 1 ½ years young he was a terrific match for the kids at Camp Good Dog, where he hugged and kissed without incident, always excited but ever gentle, trustworthy even with little ones. Cash enjoys other dogs but visibly thrives on your attention; he’s eager to please and a trainer’s dream. He can already sit, lay and shake hands for a treat, and proudly take your kids for a leash walk, too. (He also keeps his kennel really clean.) Cash’s perfect parent will give him exercise, enrichment, training and supervision and make sure he’s comfortable in his new home. Meet him and receive a kiss as soft as his coloring, then take him home and feel the heart-riches only our Cash can bestow.

There’s a constant look of earnest concern on her heart-shaped face, but then being a smoky orange Velcro-cat is a worrisome task, especially if staying close to you is as important as it is to 3-year-old Heidi. Heidi was found stray, a slender, perceptive slip of a girl, spilling over with quiet affection and softly insistent meow-sounds (she’s a willing conversationalist and she punctuates with purrs.) Gentle Heidi’s kind to other cats too, her talent for friendship’s universal; she’s already spayed and ready to go home today. See how close a cat can stay without actually sticking to you, how sincere a soft green gaze can feel, and how happy you’ll be to have Heidi watch over you every single day.

He’s called “Clyde,” a name for a polished young black and white American Staffordshire mix prince; at one year old he’s full grown, compact at just 45 lbs., and so vibrantly athletic he seems to have his own built in steed. Clyde was adored by the kids at Camp Good Dog, he never outruns his own patience and he’s proud to learn too; he’ll screech to a halt to give a gentle kiss and a wag, sit for a treat, retrieve a tennis ball, walk beautifully with a harness, and kennel himself cooperatively when asked. (Clyde loves both you and treats — he’s a joy to train, and he enjoys other dogs, too.) Clyde was found stray but he’s already proven his flawless family dog status, we picture him in a home as lively and affectionate as he is, with kindergarten-aged kids and up, or simply a single person who’ll dedicate as much lifelong loyalty as Clyde himself. See how it feels to hug 45 lbs. of happiness, and how brightly a one-year-old prince named Clyde can shine.

He’s a declawed and neutered mystery man — big, strong and civilized, and he wears a black mask, too; but 2-year-old “Batman” isn’t busy fighting villains, he’s simply waiting for his new family to come along and take him back to the life he must surely have been accustomed to. Handsome Batman was turned in as a stray; he’s laid back, gets along easily with cats, seems fine with dogs, and is intelligently sociable with people. He’s more a conversationalist than a snuggler, but he enjoys keeping you close by, where he can defend you from wrongdoers, and that pesky boredom, too. Batman keeps his airy coat scrupulously clean and his space bat-cave tidy; and he’ll give you a warm double wink to show his sense of well-being when you pet him. If your home’s short a superhero Batman here’s to fill the bill; see how fun it is to play sidekick to very own gentleman avenger, and love him as if he never belonged to anyone but you.
